Bill Summary · HB 2122

Legislative bill overview

HB 2122 would have strengthened tenant protections in manufactured home communities by imposing additional obligations on landlords, including requirements around lot maintenance, rent increase procedures, and lease terms. The bill was passed by the Virginia legislature but was vetoed by the Governor in March 2025, and the House sustained that veto on April 2, 2025, preventing it from becoming law.

Why is this important

Manufactured home residents often have limited mobility and face unique vulnerabilities since they own their homes but rent the land underneath, giving landlords significant leverage in negotiations. Protections in this bill could have affected thousands of Virginians living in manufactured home communities and set precedent for tenant-landlord relationships in this housing sector.

Potential points of contention

  • Landlord compliance costs: New obligations could increase operating expenses for lot owners, potentially leading to higher rents or reduced community maintenance investments
  • Rent control concerns: Restrictions on rent increases may be viewed as limiting property owners' financial flexibility, though supporters argue it prevents displacement
  • Market impact: Stricter regulations could discourage investment in new manufactured home communities or lead some operators to convert to other property uses
